Health Services

Hillside is committed to educating the whole student and understands the value of providing children with the knowledge necessary to make informed, educated, and healthy life choices.

The mission of Hillside’s Health Services is to provide Hillside School students with professional nursing care, counseling services, and health education, while also facilitating access to comprehensive health care within the greater community.
Hillside’s Lebovitz Health Center is warm and welcoming.

The facility has 9 beds, including 3 isolation rooms for students experiencing communicable illnesses, that has an adjoining faculty apartment to ensure 24-hour observation and care of students whose medical needs require them to stay in the Health Center overnight. The Lebovitz Health Center is staffed by two registered nurses who are available for phone triage 24 hours per day, as well as by two additional school counselors. In the event of an emergency, Hillside is centrally located and accessible to several area hospitals as well as urgent care facilities. All Hillside faculty are certified in CPR, AED use, and First Aid.

The Health Services faculty and staff are actively involved in teaching students to better understand and advocate for their health and wellness needs. They collaborate with teachers, administrators, dining service staff, coaches and parents and have outstanding working relationships with many local health care providers and local agencies.
